Objective To explore the indication,technique and complications of Snodgrass operation in hypospadias repairment.Methods From Sep.2005 to Nov.2006,22 boys from 2 to 18 years old with hypospadias were treated with Snodgrass modification.The procedure was performed in 16 patients as a primary repairment and in 6 patients as the 2-stage repairment.The entire length of the urethral plate was incised along the midline in primary repairment,and the skin flaps and residual urethral plate were incised in the 2-stage repairment.The length of neourethra was from 1 to 10 cm.The neourethra was tubularized over a F 6 or F 8 catheter.The urethral stent was removed in 10 to 14 days pos-toperatively.Results Of the 22 patients,18(81.8%) required no other surgery as the repairment provided a normal appearing penis(straight,terminal meatus, cosmetics) without complications.Fistul aoccurred in 4 patients(18.2%) and meatal stenosis in 1 patient.Conclusion Snodgrass operation creates a vertical slit-like neomeatus.The procedures restores good function and normal appearance to the penis.

Objective To compare the curative effects of CT-guided ethanol injection and lauromacrogol injection into the sac cavity in treating ovarian endometriosis cysts. Methods A total of 86 patients with ovarian endometriosis cyst were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into ethanol group (n=44) and lauromacrogol group (n=42). Under CT guidance, injections of ethanol or lauromacrogol into the sac cavity of ovarian endometriosis cysts were respectively performed for the patients of both groups. The patients were followed up for six months, and the curative effects and the complications were analyzed. Results Six months after the treatment, the cure rates of ethanol group and lauromacrogol group were 95.50%and 92.86%respectively, and no statistically significant difference in cure rate existed between the two groups (P>0.05). The preoperative serum CA125 levels of the ethanol group and lauromacrogol group were (48.42±23.68)μg/L and(49.21±22.83) μg/L respectively, and the post operative ones were (23.56±5.89) μg/L and (25.49± 6.10) μg/L respectively; the differences between the preoperative data and the postoperative data were statistically significant in both groups (P<0.05), although the differences in serum CA125 levels between the two groups were not significant (P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in the lauromacrogol group was obviously lower than that in the ethanol group (P<0.05). The cure time in the ethanol group was shorter than that in the lauromacrogol group, although the difference was not significant after six months. Conclusion For the treatment of ovarian endometriosis cysts, CT-guided lauromacrogol injection into the sac cavity has reliable curative effect. Compared to ethanol injection, injection of lauromacrogol is safer and has fewer adverse reactions. Therefore, this technique should be recommended in clinical practice. Serum CA125 can be used as an indicator for the evaluation of curative effect.

Objective To observe the results of broth dilution method and disc diffusion method to test the synergistic effect of Reduning and cefoperazone sodium / sulbactam sodium(SCF) on extensive drug resistant Acinetobacter bauman (XDR-AB) in vitro environment ,and compare their compliance to guide the clinical medication .Methods A total of 12 strains of XDR-AB from infec-tion patients in our hospital in 2015 were collected ,the strain was sub cultured .Firstly ,observe the minimum inhibitory concentra-tion (MIC) of SCF and Reduning on XDR-AB alone and in combination by broth dilution method .And then judge the synergy effects through calculation .Secondly ,the inhibition ring diameter and the synergy effects was detected using the disc diffusion meth-od .Results The MIC of Reduning and SCF in combination on XDR-AB was declined compared with them alone .The Fractional in-hibitory concentration of Reduning and SCF in combination on XDR-AB were equal or less than 0 .5 ,they had synergistic effect on XDR-AB .The inhibition ring diameter of Reduning was 10 mm tested by disk diffusion method .Different strains of XDR-AB on SCF bacteriostatic annulus diameter difference ,5 strains were 15 mm ,3 strains were 16 mm ,and 4 strains were 17 mm .Reduning and SCF appeared synergistic effect according to the inhibition ring diameter expanded when they effected on XDR -AB in combina-tion .Conclusion In vitro ,Reduning combined with SCF on XDR-AB has good synergistic effect .Compared with broth microdilution checkerboard dilution method ,disk diffusion method is more simple and convenient ,but it has a certain subjective on judging re-sults ,which is better to operate by experienced person .

BACKGROUND:At present,the problems such as serious shortage of donor liver organs for transplantation,surgical injury,high incidence of surgical complications,as well as the high costs limit the development of liver transplantation,while the hepatic stem cell(HSC)transplantation provides a new pathway for the treatment of end-stage liver disease.OBJECTIVE:To introduce the source and classification of HSCs,research progress and problems of HSC transplantation for treatment of end-stage liver disease,and the clinical application prospects of HSC transplantation.METHODS:Articles were collected from CNKI and Medline database with the keywords of "hepatic stem cells,liver disease,transplantation" in both Chinese and English from 1999 to 2009.Among 87 articles,30 were included according to inclusion and exclusion criteria.Following reading titles and abstracts,original articles,and articles closely related to HSC transplantation with reliable argument and evidence and general analysis were included.Articles of repetitive studies and poor quality were excluded.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The HSC can be divided into liver-derived stem cells and non-liver-derived stem cells.Liver-derived stem cells include hepatic oval cells,mature liver cells and small hepatocyte-like progenitor cell.Non-liver-derived stem cells were mainly derived from embryonic stem cells,bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells and pancreatic stem cells.Currently,the research for the treatment of liver disease by HSC is still in its early stages.There are many difficult issues to be studied and solved in the discovery,separation,purification,comprehensive identification,cultivation,directed differentiation as well as clinical trials.However,as a new source of seed cells,HSC can not only replace the damaged tissue but can stimulate the receptor in tissue regeneration.Hence,compared with the clinical liver transplantation and bio-artificial liver,there are very bright future for the treatment of liver diseases by transplating HSC.

AIM: To investigative the inhibitory effects of Paecilomyces cicadae polysaccharide (PcPS) against HBV in vitro, and the effects on the Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) mRNA expression in HepG2.2.15 cell strain. METHODS: HepG2.2.15 cell strain was co-cultured in vitro with PcPS in different concentrations, and lamivudine (LMV) was applied as positive control. MTT assay was employed to detect the cytotoxicities of PcPS in vitro, when the HepG2.2.15 cells was used as target cells. The effects of PcPS on the secretion of HBsAg and HBeAg were assayed by ELISA method. Fluorescence quantitative-PCR (FQ-PCR) was used to detect the inhibitory effects of PcPS on the content of HBV-DNA and TLR4 mRNA in HepG2.2.15 cells. RESULTS: The inhibitory effects of PcPS on the HBsAg and HBeAg were observed and the maximum inhibitory ratio up to 44.8% and 31.0%, respectively. The same inhibitory effects of PcPS on the HBV-DNA replication and TLR4 mRNA expression in HepG2.2.15 cells were also found. CONCLUSION: A certain concentration of PcPS significantly inhibits HBV replication in vitro.

Objective To explore the clinical utility of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) urine test as a non-invasive method for diagnosing the upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UUTUC).Methods Urine specimens from 30 consecutive patients with UUTUC were analyzed by means of FISH and cytology.Ultrasonic and CT were also used to analyze urine specimens from the study group.Urine specimens from 30 patients with other diseases were also analyzed by means of FISH and cytology in order to compare the specificity.Results The sensitivities of FISH,cytology,CT and ultrasonic were 87％,37％,90％ and 43％.The specificity of FISH and cytology were 97％ and 93％.The sensitivity between FISH and MMCT were compared and they were not statistically significantly superior to ultrasonic and cytology.FISH and cytology were compared and no specific statistical significance was found.The positive and negative predictive value for FISH was 96％ and 88％.For cytology it was 85％ and 60％.Conclusions FISH analysis is a useful ancillary test in the detection of UT-TCC with excellent sensitivity and specificity.It provides a more reliable and less invasive approach to diagnosis and postoperative follow-up for UT-TCC.
